Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an increased rating higher than 0 percent for tension headaches, as the evidence did not show characteristic prostrating attacks averaging one in two months over the last several months.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's headache symptoms did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under DC 8100 due to the lack of characteristic prostrating attacks.
